Is the deer digestive system different from the human digestive system?

Yes, absolutely! Unlike humans, deer can digest the molecule cellulose. Cellulose is present in plants such as grass and leaves. Deer have four stomach chambers: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. If the deer's intestines would be stretched out, it would measure 28 feet long. Hope this helps!

Deer have a four-chambered stomach that allows them to ferment and digest plant material, while humans have a monogastric stomach designed for a more varied diet. The length and complexity of deer intestines also aid in nutrient absorption from their plant-based food. Overall, these differences reflect their specific dietary needs and adaptations.
